Lynne Curran
Mixed media sketchbook study by female tapestry weaver Lynne Curran of Bali

About the Item

A delightful study by the contemporary female tapestry weaver Lynne Curran titled 'Take me to Bali'. Lynne Curran trained in tapestry at the Edinburgh College of Art from 1973-77. Her work is influenced by her surroundings and is an expression of her thoughts and interests. Her tapestries do not begin life as paintings but rather with the first movement of the shuttle across the warp, having evolved from notes in her sketchbooks. This work is probably one of those sketchbook notes. Despite the simplistic nature of the imagery there is a palpable sense of mystery and gracefulness in her work. Lynne Curran's works are in the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, London; The Burrell Museum, Glasgow; and the Uffizi Collection, Florence.

  • Head #1627- Geneviève Seillé, 21st Century, Outsider art, Figurative art
    By Geneviève Seillé
    Located in Paris, FR
    Graphite and coloured pencil on paper Signed, dated and entitled on the back Unique work In Geneviève Seillé’s works, the word reigns in master. It fascinates her for its own appearance and becomes an esthetic entity in itself. When she was a child, she experienced an intense pleasure to hear the sound of the nib filled with ink on the paper. Later, she tried to experience this feeling again while creating. Since 1995, she started inventing her own words and was led by her mental fascinations. Lines and colours melt symmetrically and repeatedly. She leaves no place for emptiness. In the mysterious zone of creation, full of improvisations and chaos, she entirely fills the space with all sorts of signs and collages and it all harmonizes in the end. She offers a vision of creatures, invented anatomies and words that fit together and show a new way of seeing, fascinating and dizzying. Geneviève Seillé was born in France in 1951. From 1970 to 1977, she taught in primary and secondary schools in France and England. In 1981, she graduated in Fine Art (BA) at Wolverhampton Polytechnic. From 1979 to 1988, she worked on performances as Le Banquet & Le Jardinier...
